Study guides that are created by students or teachers can help prepare students for their tests.
Using Wiki, students can
share resources
add topics that are important for the upcoming test
benefit by using it the day before their test, if their study pattern is to study a day before the test
know what to study, if they have missed something, having been away
post last minute questions, which can be answered by the teacher of their peers
Math
You can post a challenging math question on Wiki, and students can try to solve it from the comfort of their home.
Students can post any homework question they are having difficulty solving and their teacher or peers can help them solve it.
Generating Ideas for any topic
In my class we are working on debate unit, for which I wanted student input to generate different topics of their choice. So I created a Wiki. Students can now come up with a topic and add it to the list using Wiki, from their homes. I think this can save a lot of class time.
